Spiderman needs your help

I am 1 of 8. Grew up a in a big Italian Catholic family falling third oldest or fifth youngest depending on how you look at it I suppose. And every year we would make Christmas and birthday lists for each other so that we knew what to get each other. And at the top of our lists we would always put ridiculous wishes like a sports car or a computer or a million dollars, etc... wishful thinking I’d call it..

Well I saw the Spiderman movie in 2002 and decided to put “movie quality spiderman suit” at the top of my list thinking of you aren’t getting movie quality than I don’t want it... I thought it was unobtainable.

It remained at the top of my list for 18 years and then on my 30th birthday my whole family flew out to Los Angeles (where I was living) and along with some of my best friends, they chipped in and bought me a spiderman stunt doubles suit from the studios that did Captain America:Civil War aka a movie quality suit.

So what do I do with a gift like this? A gift so precious that the world gave me? I feel like it’s my job and honor to volunteer my time. I’ve been doing it for almost 4 years..(children’s hospital in la, underprivileged schools in the Dominican Republic, P.S.A.’s for my moms school during covid, 5K’s and birthday parties) I never take money and I try to stay off the internet because I feel like it’s my obligation to just due it for the smiles. Changing anyone’s day to a child in the hospital, to a construction worker at a near by site... I try to just make people’s day in the spiderman suit.

It is safe to say the suit has seen a lot of use and made even more people smile. Unfortunately it has warn down. Some have lovingly started calling me the homeless spiderman due to the frayed fingers and worn soles on the feet. I am now starting to volunteer my time at the Western New York Superhero’s volunteer organization and would like to get an updated suit but currently can not afford to get it on my own due to the current family circumstances.

Any help is much appreciated and if you donate I promise you will get a special visit from Spiderman.
